The retreat

The call of
the jungle

There are moments in life when something greater calls us. A voice that is not our own invites us to step into the unknown. Jaguar Paths is a shamanic initiation retreat for those who hear that call and are ready to answer.

We work with three master plants — ayahuasca, chiricaspi and bobinsana — in a deep ceremonial diet process. Accompanied by experienced shamans, each participant receives personalized attention and a sacred space for their transformation.

This is not a tourist retreat. It is a commitment to your healing and spiritual growth process. The jungle receives you as a student, not a visitor.
